As Uncle Iroh Said In The Last Airbender: "if You Look For A Light, You Can Always Find It. If You Look

hope is a skill

me, wrapping my arms around myself: i know it’s scary. i know. just keep being brave for a little while longer. i’m here with you.

tiktoks like these crack me up because they look so cute and the comments are full of people tagging their partners but like these fish are FIGHTING

they are PISSED at each other and the only weapons they have are their teeny tiny fishy teeth

my other controversial take for the day is that anger, sadness, shame and fear are seen as inherently negative emotions and because of that the second you express them you are deemed as 'not good' because of experiencing the full breadth of the human experience. so instead of not experiencing these feelings (impossible challenge) everyone just hides them and we develop weirder and weirder complexes about them until we wind up finding new ways to psychologically torment each other.

you've got to learn how to express these feelings, earnestly, when to express them and how to process them yourself. you are going to make mistakes in doing so. but simply denying you have them or WORSE, denying yourself the experience of them by bottling them away... there is no crueler fate and you will never understand why you keep hurting yourself and others regardless.

stop playing it cool, just be passionate and intense and insane and whoever sticks around is meant for you
